  "account": "Singapore's SBS Transit is set to reevaluate the urinal arrangement at Farrer Park MRT station following a public outcry. The issue came to light after entrepreneur Jack Sim, known as \"Mr Toilet,\" highlighted the cramped space between the two rows of urinals. Mr Sim shared photos of the toilet on social media, expressing disbelief at how the design could have been approved. The inconvenience is compounded, as using one urinal would block access to the others, with the last urinal requiring a wait for others to finish. Sim questioned the architectural firm responsible for the design, the approval process by the Building & Construction Authority, the contractor's failure to raise concerns, and the supervision by SMRT's Clerk of Works. He urged a review of the building codes to prevent such occurrences. SBS Transit acknowledged the matter, stating that any necessary repairs would be done diligently to minimize disruptions for commuters.",
